I completely agree. Clair Obscur feels genuine in a sea of live-service, in-game store laden modern AAA games. Almost like it was made for gamers and not investors.
Some assholes online have decided that she looks ugly and she doesn’t belong in a video game and now they decide to harass her. It’s really disgusting.
Game development is a problem to be solved because then execs can get to the real reason they do any of this: start making money. Of course, how much money they can make selling AI slop is anyone’s guess.
I have been a huge AC fan since AC 2. In fact, I am currently replaying AC 2 to recapture the good times. But, Valhalla was the last straw. AC games have become too bloated for their own good. I gave up on AC for good.
Cowboy is the GOAT. He is pretty much the only streamer I watch occasionally. He even had an overall positive opinion on Veilguard and it matches my experience fairly well.
Yes I know. That pisses me off the most. I hate how rich fucks will do anything to avoid paying people or hiring people. It’s like they are willfully ignorant of the idea that if there are no employees, there will be no customers.
Current AI is not something that will get much better than this through iteration alone. Current ‘AI’ technologies are hardly more than statistical parrots. We are missing many fundamental pieces to create an actual AI that is more intelligent than a bug.
AI is no where good enough for that. But these rich fucks want their customers to accept shitty quality and to force artists and developers to accept shitty pay so that they can keep more for themselves. Hence, they are so obsessed with AI.
This the reason we need “Stop Killing Games” to succeed.
